Do your homework, there are much better ones out there.

[@bentnickel7487]

This is a great step forward, but we're still 5 years away from what a lot of people want or need. Recharge times of 7 to fourteen hours is too slow. I'm holding out for charging in two hours and being enough for two days and costing $200. USD.

[@sloanNYC]

Ecoflow Delta 1300 charges close to that, but $1400. We are years away from your price point.

[@johnathanpearson3203]

It needs to charge in 2 hours from solar to be suitable for full time van life at 1000 dollars plus shipping to the UK. I think two AGM 95 ah plus a mpt plus 400w solar is cheaper if you can fit it yourself.

Damn bro!!! I'm sold on the all in one units. I don't have Jackery products yet, because I have a different maker/model. However, I would love to upgrade to Jackery power and solar panels, as I don't want to mount panels to my roof. I just need to allocate funds to make this move. I drive a ton for work and stay in place for about 10 hours a day so charging on the go and sitting wouldn't by an issue. Thanks for the video and product introduction!!!

[@salinwa7105]

We bought a 1500 for our house. Then we bought a van! The 1500 will be the power for our van as we begin to use it, to see how we want to wire it. Just started the van build - this week patching holes (from contractor cabinets, bolts etc.) wire wheeling rust and painting. Can’t wait next week or so, to get it insulated and install flooring walls, ceiling.... I want to go where the sun shines! Not too bad in recent days but it will be so nice to be able to do that!

[@lacha608]

I don't know... Instant Pot + fridge/ freezer + fans + heater + electric kettle, +.charge devices, etc.? I don't have the knowledge to perform the calculations at.this point. But the main problem I see is that it takes way too long to.charge via solar. If you.can't get the energy into it, then it won't be there for you to make use of. I'm nowhere near being ready for one of these products, but I hope this issue will be resolved in the future. This seems like a.step in the right direction.

[@blake1302]

I would recommend using the Quick Charge to juice up the jackery while driving long distances. You get double the charge and all you need is a power inverter

@@randymoss8183 I'm sorry no refunds.

[@billyhendoe4170]

Right on, Jackery is the best.

[@ib516]

Forget the 12v cord. The best way to charge while driving is to use a 300w bestek pure sine inverter ($40) and the wall plug for the Jackery. 7 hrs instead of 14 hrs recharge time while driving. The bestek also has another 120v outlet and USB A ports you can use at the same time.

[@jazgal3074]

Yup.... hobotech reported that a while ago

[@thatcarlifejawn9618]

If the Jackery is being powered by the inverter, then what is the inverter plugged into? Excuse my ignorance, but this all new to me.

[@bobandtams]

Loved the demo and review. Can you run a 12 volt cooler for how long? Thanks for showing👍

[@VANCITYVANLIFE]

Those calculations are pretty easy for you to figure out on your own. Find out how many watts that cooler draws.... This is 1002 white hours. So if the cooler draws 5 Watts... simply divide 5 W by 1002 W hours and you will have your answer

[@laronis]

I am so NOT an electrician OR plumber .. or carpenter .. soooo this is my plan for my electric ⚡️ set up.. probably guna buy one of the small ones too so while the big one is charging I can use the little one.. Are you able to have the input plugged into solar full time while other things are plugged in full time without any issues?

[@MethosFilms]

I have a goal Zero 1000 lithium. It is basically the same as this one. It is so easy to use. Best set up you can do in a van

[@MethosFilms]

And yes I think this can do pass through power. That's charge while u discharge power at same time

[@rfjohns1]

One disadvantage is that this unit uses a lithium ion battery which has many less recharge/cycles then lithium iron oxide as many of its competitors use. 500-600 cycles vs 2000+ for iron oxide. But on the other hand it is cheaper then many,

[@ib516]

....and much lighter weight. Don't forget that the "500 cycles" is 500 FULL cycles. Keeping Lithium batteries between 35% and 85% only uses a fraction of a "cycle" (maybe 15%), and adds 300% or more to their life span.

[@ronnihall444]

I’d love one as we have medical machines and power outages, but that price point is a bit high. Definitely will be saving up... would rather have two 500’s but still nobody has verified the new low wattage shutoff times... :-/

[@Bugs11000]

WOW! I live in a van too. This is giving me a new idea. I wanted to install 4 6volt batteries in my van. Now i think I will only install 2 6 volt batteries and this 1000 watt generator that is transportable. That's great for me. Do you think this could power an electric boat motor?

[@SaucysCreativeCrochet]

Ok decisions decisions since both Battle Born & Jackery are approximately same price... Questions 1. How many cycles does this have? (Battle Born has 3000- 5000 Cycles* **Approximately 75-80% of the battery capacity will remain after 3000 cycles in applications recharging at 0.5C or lower We have seen life spans well over 5000 cycles in our lab testing} 2. What is the warranty? (Battle Born has 10 Year Warranty) I am soon to be getting my van and I am not going with just straight batteries as I want something that is going to last longer and give more power. I plan on getting approximately 300-400 Watts of solar so if I was to do this and use Jackery I would do 200 Watts for the top of van and 2 - 100 Watts Portable panels. I have to see which is better cost efficient and provide the power I plan on having.

[@VANCITYVANLIFE]

There is NO Comparison between this and a battle born. You just can’t put those things together because they are completely different. If you have the cash to build a battle born set up which would be triple the cost of this then do it. That’s a no brainer

How long will it run my van refrigerator before it needs recharging? Everything you have plugged into it uses next to nothing

[@TheNomadicSunny]

depends how many watts your fridge is. my whynter fridge/freezer runs 65 watts and would last about 5-6 days

[@r.nathansinclair9909]

Great video. It seems to me that they haven’t addressed the charge input rates they had with the 500. Average solar charging hours are 3 to 5 a day. If you charge the 1000 while driving in the 12v charger...13-14 hours? That’s 3 days of solar for the 1000 and 2 days for the 500. It’s great if you’re going to use power initially and not have to worry about recharging the generator. If it takes 13-14hours to recharge, how efficient is it, if you’re camping and it takes 3 days to fully charge? I know Rockpals has that covered. Check out DIY Solar with Will Prouse. Namaste 🇨🇦

[@jayjayhooksch1]

Yea, these solar generators have certainly come a long way but they are still not quite there yet imo. The charge rate needs to be improved a bit as does the inverter imo; I think 1500w is the sweet spot since it will run common appliances like kettles, microwaves, electric cookers. I know most rv/vanlifers have other methods of cooking and specialized low wattage appliances but this would open it up for home backup use as well. For someone in a house or apartment like me it's hard to justify the price of these things if it means I have to buy all new small appliances as well just for the case of a power outage.

[@longhairmullet]

R.Nathan Sinclair wait who has that covered? Rockpals? What is that? Another generator or?

[@MissAllyson707]

What happens with the power bank when your interior van temperature reaches above 104 degrees when you park in a sunny spot on a really hot day? I’m wanting to purchase one of these for my no build camper van, but I’m afraid what will happen if I have it in my van in temperatures over 104 degrees.

I have a buttload of Ryobi 3 and 4ah batteries. I built a little interface to adapt these 20V batteries over to the cable input of the Jackery.

[@elisiadriver4592]

IMPORTANT ♡

[@VANCITYVANLIFE]

Will Prouse made a video a while ago about what it would cost for somebody to build a system that could run an air conditioner in their RV eight hours a day all summer. That system would be about $10,000 worth of batteries just to have enough reserve power to get you through a few days. The answer is no.. if you are the kind of person that requires that kind of power then looks like you’re going to be living at a campsite with short power all day. That’s crazy. Or running a generator beside your van all day and annoying all of the neighbours around you ha ha. There are just some luxuries you have to leave behind
